Looking for a C++ async HTTP library so I can download some zip files from a website. I would prefer it be really easy to use. Like DownloadFile(website_zip_path) where a callback is fired when the download is complete, kind of easy. Anyone know of anything like this? Does not have to be cross platform (win based). The ease of use is more what I’m worried about here as some other libraries I’ve seen seem to make it more complicated that it seems like it should be.
[EDIT]
Has anyone ever used http://www.example-code.com/vcpp/http_backgroundThread.asp
Might give that a try. Seems very simple and to the point. Nevermind, looks like I have to pay for that. Bah.
If your solution is for Windows then you may try using WinInet.
